       These Criminal Petitions coming on for Admission this
day, the court made the following:


                           ORDER

Heard the learned Senior Advocate Shri S.Vijaya Shankar appearing for the learned Counsel for the petitioners in the first twelve petitions and the learned Counsel for the petitioners in the other petitions and the learned Counsel for the respondents.

2. These petitions are filed by the accused in criminal petitions who are differently arrayed in the several complaints filed. However, the grievance of the complainants appears to be identical. The complainants are said to have purchased the lands described as sites bearing house list numbers of several villages in Hosakote, K.R.Puram and Dodda Gubbi villages. It transpires that the complainants had purchased the house sites 59 through a general power of attorney holder of the original grantees and they were purportedly put in possession of the vacant sites. It is subsequently learnt by them that the house sites formed in the layout, were no longer identifiable, as third parties had intervened and it is in retrospect they learnt that the accused have purchased the same under registered sale deeds in the face of the sale deeds in favour of the complainants and therefore they have alleged offences punishable under the various provisions of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (Hereinafter referred to as the 'IPC', for brevity) alleging fraud, forgery, trespass and criminal conspiracy and so on. The court below has, by a cryptic order, directed investigation by the jurisdictional Police under Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (Hereinafter referred to as the 'CrPC', for brevity). It is at that stage that the present petitions were filed and interim orders of stay were granted staying further proceedings.

60

3. At the outset, it is to be noticed that the allegations of forgery etc., in respect of the incidental documents pursuant to the registered sale deed in favour of the complainants could not be adjudicated in a criminal case, for the reason that unless the registered sale deed is cancelled and delivered up in terms of Section 31 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, the same cannot be ignored. The court would not be in a position to proceed on the basis that the sale deeds set up by the complainants are void ab initio. This would again amount to a declaration by a criminal court that the sale is void, which is impermissible. Therefore, in the face of the registered sale deed, which the complainants may claim, was a subsequent conveyance and could not override their sale deeds, which is earlier in point of time, also cannot be readily accepted, since it is an admitted fact that the sale deeds in favour of the complainants is in respect of particular plots of land without reference to any survey number. Admittedly, the lands in question are not converted for non- agricultural purpose. In the face of the further circumstance 61 that the sale deeds in favour of the petitioners herein are in respect of acreage of lands bearing survey numbers, the identity would be a serious matter to assume that the sites purchases by the complainants overlap the lands purchased by the petitioners. This is an area which requires to be adjudicated by a civil court and in the absence of which, a criminal court would hardly be in a position to appreciate the premise under which the complaints are filed. Therefore, the complaints are premature and would lack the basic foundation to demonstrate that the sale deeds of the petitioners are void.

4. Hence, the remedy of the complainants would only be before a civil court, where they would be enabled to have the sale deeds of the petitioners declared as void, if it is their case that they are void and thereafter may pursue all consequential remedies of even criminal prosecution for having proceeded to lay claim to the lands under a void sale deed.

Consequently, the Magistrate having directed investigation by the Police, by a cryptic order, also cannot be 62 sustained, for it is the law laid down by this court as well as the Supreme Court that even for purposes of directing investigation, there ought to be some application of mind not to the degree of taking cognizance of the case, but at least to decide that the matter requires investigation. Even on that ground, the order of the court below is not sustainable. In any event, since the complaint itself was not sustainable, before the court below in the circumstances which are not disputed, the petitions are summarily allowed. The proceedings initiated before the court below in each of these petitions are quashed.
